So I've watched the first two episodes of The Strain on FX. The previews for this show looked awesome and to be honest some of the themes and visuals are paying off but the show is just totally stupid. Here's a short list of stuff that is so dumb I just cant continue to care about this show.1. Why quarantine the survivors, lock down the plane but put the cargo in some random warehouse. Even after you saw the glowing mystery substance all over the cargo hold where it seemed to emanate from. And then see a giant mystery death coffin thing and not use any kind of protective suit or anything.
2. The bodies. see #1. No one knows wtf the sickness is but they're all dead so they're not able to spread the sickness. No worries just take them to the normal morgue down town with the rest of the stiffs. no security, no concern about contagens. blah.
3a. The bureaucracy and overtly careless and inefficient management of the CDC and Health and Human Services. It makes them look like idiots.
3b. The part when the lawyer somehow gets the head of whatever government agency to take the case away from the CDC because of a story about carbon monoxide or something. SHOW THEM THE FUCKING WORMS! omg why dont you just show them the creepy worms you found. not one mention of it.
4. The main character's family, and alcoholism.. unless it plays a very integral part of the plot line, I dont give a shit.
I'm sure there's more ... I'm over this stupid show. It insults my intelligence. I wanted it to be something more I guess but it's turning out to be a badly written outbreak zombie vampire nazi show.
